Mundine v Green in 2006 would eclipse Tszyu v Zerafa in terms of $, simply because of Mundine. Remember Ellis v Michael, that was a classic and Barry wasn't liked by many for beating Lester who was too young for him at the time and probably stalled his career from reaching its peak. As for Harry, out of all the gold medalists at Paris for Australia, only those Athletes with stories that touch the hearts and mind will be the ones that get to sponsorship and endorsement deals - it is just life, so I am disappointed Angelo made this public comment because it does reflect poorly on Harry even though that was not his intent there are unintended consequences.
That was the worse version of Green throughout his career. In some losses there can be a back story and in Greens case from what I saw being close to the team in that fight it was his worse prep. There was a death within his close nit family half way through camp which affected him greatly and from memory I think possibly caused a posponment. You could see how flat Green was from the 1st Rd in fact I remember him saying that there was a point in the early rds where he just mentally checked out which was obvious watching it. I'm sure being weight drained particularly in this fight was attributed by the bad camp he had. I honestly think if Green had a better camp the outcome would have been different.
Thx Lynden for mentioning the Lester Vs Barry fight it made me rewatch it & the documentary. Great doco a lot of true respect between the 2 guys with a lot of honesty of what happened . The ref allow Barry to get away with to many dirty tactics . I read it was his 1st title fight as a referee.
Good morning mate 🙋♂️🙋♂️🇦🇺🇦🇺
